Do your research

Once you have accumulated a few properties in your shortlist, it's time to analyse them. Landlord Central has a number of reports and an online calculator to assist you with this task.

Below is a summary of the property analysis tools available through Landlord Central:

Investment Index

The Investment Index focuses on the saleability and rentability of a property. It is a comprehensive checklist which factors in seven key areas including the physical attributes of the property, design and construction issues, work/business issues, recreational facilities, essential services, proximity to transport and local environmental issues.

The Investment Index can be used to guide your decision and assist your research, but not necessarily replace it.

Technical Brochure

The Technical Brochure features an investment analysis calculator, allowing investors to quickly and easily compare investment returns under differing market conditions and circumstances. An investor can alter their income, interest rate, rental return estimate, vacancy rate allowance and capital growth predictions to see how these variables can impact their investment. This information can be summarised and printed in a table for quick and easy comparisons against other short listed properties.

Online Investment Analysis Calculator

This calculator enables investors to customise the evaluation of each property and alter the risk assessment according to their own individual circumstances. It analyses the capital growth, cash flows, and tax implications for any investment property and provides instant feedback on the projected after tax cost and rate of return.

Project Report

A Project Report contains comprehensive research on a particular development, the costs, an Investment Index, independent valuations and rental return estimates. The average purchaser would spend thousands of dollars in time and fees to source and compile this information. Landlord Central has brought this vital information together into an easy-to-read report format downloadable from Landlord Central. The investor receives all the information that is needed to make an informed decision.
